It’s going to be a DAM good year!
What an exciting year you have ahead of you—filled with some of our favorite traditions and celebrations. Oh, and of course, college! We know it’s a lot and that it can feel overwhelming at times so we created this page for you to access what you need in the season we’re in.
Below, you’ll find more details about upcoming events. (Oh and don’t worry: you’ll also be getting plenty of emails with even more event-specific details and to RSVP!)
A quick note about dress code: Beaver does not have a dress code, and we do not share dress code requirements or suggestions for events. How students dress for any Beaver event is a family decision.
